The Buddha Hand Cave is located next to the Siandong (Celestial cave). Inside the Buddha Hand Cave, there are several routes heading to different small caves, with each cave having its own unique view. Walking inside the Cave is just like going on an adventure, and the natural cool air will bring you another special experience. On the stone wall of the farthest cave, there is a weathered hand imprint which is very similar to the shape of a Buddha’s hand (you may need to look up to see it) which gave the cave its name.
